PBSO: Riviera man threatens to shoot up Lake Park bar, kill deputy

A Riviera Beach man threatened to start shooting at a bar in Lake Park early Friday morning and then said he would come back to kill the deputy who arrested him, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.

A manager of the bar told deputies that Bullock was upset because the person who dropped him off at the bar drove off with his backpack containing his personal belongings. Bullock said he was going to “shoot the place up if he didn’t get his stuff back,” the report said.

Bullock also asked customers to buy him food, and when he was asked to leave the bar several times he refused, telling the manager he was “not leaving until he got his (expletive) back,” according to the arrest report.

Bullock refused orders to leave after deputies arrived and reportedly said to an officer “Arrest me, I want to go to jail.” When the deputy took Bullock into a patrol car he unbuckled his seat belt, spit out the window and said he would come back to shoot up the bar and kill the deputy, according to PBSO.

Bullock faces charges of trespassing after warning and corruption by threat. He is in the Palm Beach County Jail on a $1,000 bond.
